E-Learning Office
E-learning office will be located at the Polytechnical University of Catalunya, Spain
The e-Learning Office will use Information Communication Technology for training and education in the field of River-Sea Systems of the next generation of researchers and practitioners, including: a) organising Master programmes with a blended learning approach recognised by several European universities; b) organising courses and summer school programmes on aspects of River-Sea Systems (e.g. assimilation of data, early warning systems, solutions based on natural processes); c) organising e-learning programmes for postgraduate students on issues in observation, analysis, modelling, and impact; d) developing plans for Master and Doctorate research projects jointly supervised by DANUBIUS-RI Partners; e) developing ad-hoc training courses for administrators or third party interested in sustainable management; and f) offering a virtual meeting point for academia, administration and industry
TTO will have to work continuously with the technology transfer experts in all of the DANUBIUS-RI ASPs to avoid complications when licensing contracts are being drawn up and this interaction will be facilitated by the Business Development Unit. These activities are seen as pivotal to the sustainability of DANUBIUS-RI and technology transfer will, therefore, not be considered the sole responsibility of the TTO but a consortium wide responsibility facilitated by the TTO under the direction of the Business Development Unit (in conjunction with the other four Directorates under the General Director).
